+## Opentrons Robot Software Changes in 8.3.0
+
+Welcome to the v8.3.0 release of the Opentrons robot software! This release adds support for Evosep Evotips on the Flex, as well as other features.
+
+### New Features
+- Use Evosep Evotips in Python API version 2.22 protocols for protein sample purification. Only available with the Flex 96-channel pipette. 
+- Control robot movements outside of a protocol using the RobotContext API. For more, please read *link PAPI docs section*. 
+- Load a newly modified Flex 8-Channel EM 1000 µL pipette equipped with a PEEK motor component to automate emulsion applications. 
+
+### Improved Features
+- Improvements to the Flex error recovery feature help protocols recover from detected stalls and collisions, saving you valuable time and resources.
 
-Welcome to 8.3.0-alpha.0! This release solely adds support for the modified pipettes, outfitted with a PEEK motor nut to enable emulsification applications. Included is the recognition of new load name "FLEX 8-Channel EM 1000 μL"  based on SN P1KP, which automatically disables pressure sensors and allows a max plunger speed of 90mm/s.
